SEATTLE -- A pier protest brought dozens of people to Maury Island Monday morning. They gathered on land and at sea near Sandy Shores Beach.Chopper 7 over the protest showed the words ‘island for sale’ with ‘sold out’ displayed in the sand.People were protesting the building of a dock for an expanded gravel mine on the eastern rim of the island. Glacier Northwest crews began laying booms in the water last Friday, following one of the longest environmental battles in the island's history.When it’s done, the steel dock will be 305 feet long and will go right over a state-owned aquatic reserve.
